Your family is a bunch of pot heads. Not much you can do unless you want to turn them in?! If I were you I would stay away from it though, it kills brain cells.

OK before you get social services involved, you need to ask yourself a few questions and answer them honestly.
1) Do they smoke the pot in front of you?
2) Are they constantly stoned?
3) Does it take priority in their lives?
4) Are the bills all paid?
5) Is there a neglect of duties around the house? (is it constantly a mess?)
6) Are there groceries in the house?
7) (this one's really important) Are you prepared to send your entire family to jail over this?
If the answers to all of the above are yes, then by all means get on the phone and get out of a bad situation. If they are mixed yes and no then focus mostly on 4-7 and if those are yes (6 being a no), then I repeat my advice. If they are mostly no, then it's simply time to talk openly and honestly with your parents.
I won't deny being a casual smoker, but I can answer them in the following order....no no no yes no yes and does not apply. I am also a firm believer in the reform of marijuana laws. It is not the evil that the propagandists tell us. It is constantly called a gateway drug and the only reason that it qualifies is because it's ILLEGAL. If there weren't the laws regarding it, then there wouldn't be an issue.
I hope this helps

I am sorry that you have to be the parent in your home. Is there an Aunt or Grand parent you can turn to or clerg pastor for help. Your smart, durg or smokeing MJ. is never the right answer to any thing.
Your parent are not going to change, they know it isn't normal or they wouldn't be hiding what they are doing. And turning them in isn't the answer either. Unless, they are is absulotly no parental support, like a clean house , food on the table , and no abuse. like hitting or pushing screaming and yelling.
Stay on your path, stay a way from these thing you parents and brother are doing, you will come out far ahead. try to find a family members to help when all else fails pray. you'd be surpied how much it helps.

I found out my father smoked pot when I was 12. I found out my brothers smoked pot when I was 11. I found out my step father smoked pot the minute I met him. Don't send your family to jail over this. If it bothers you that they smoke pot, first, don't smoke it with them. Second, let them know it bothers you and ask them not to do it in the house. It didn't bother me though, because the bills were always paid and there was always very good food in the house( You can't imagine the great food my father cooked when he was high.) I'm 19 now and it never bothered me. I actually started smoking with them at 14, but lost interest in it when I gained 50 pounds from eating all the time. ... Where was I going with this? Oh yeah. Don't turn them in. Just don't do it and talk to your family about it if it bothers you.

first off DON'T DO DRUGS, just because everyone else is doing you don't have to.
2nd of all i think u need to report your parents because what they are doing is extreamly unhealthy, i know that sounds harsh but what they are doing is not only bad for them but your living in an environment that is also unhealthy so something needs to happen there. maybe talk to a teacher you can trust at school or a counsler or something and they can handle it from there. Good Luck.

You live in a very dysfunctional family, which relies on the high feeling from drugs to cope with life. You would best be served by talking with your school counsellor or a teacher.

Just don't do it. It's really bad for you and could stunt your brains growth and development.
Give second thought about reporting. Some people may tell you to, but you could end up in a foster home. So, if nobody is beating you up or abusing you, then you probably shouldn't.

Be strong, remember what you enjoy, your hobbies. Once you start doing that stuff that's all you do, you don't hang out with friends, you don't go to the mall or movies, you just sit at home smoking and killing your body.
Good luck sweety!

First off, don't do anything with them. It'll make you get hooked.
HUGS NOT DRUGS. Okay?
And Second, talk to a teacher you really trust..or your school councelor. They can really help you out and give you advice.
Good luck Sweetie, I can only hope things will get easier for you.
